Recently, I tried to switch capslock and ctrl on my Ubuntu 18.04. I did it by add the following line into my .bashrc:
# swap capslock and ctrl
/usr/bin/setxkbmap -option "ctrl:swapcaps"
This worked, but in an awkward way. Every time I logged in by GUI, I need to start a new terminal to activ...

I am using this software VAPOR3 and the developers of that software want me to use Intel Graphics card drivers rather than Mesa. How can I do that ? When I type

I get these messages

@Fabby I have a self-answered question that is a sort-of-network-related question you might want answer: askubuntu.com/questions/1104017/… One of the other guys answers is going to pass me soon in votes :p

Some years ago when hands free kits and BT in cars were new, a colleague bought a new BMW and tried to connect his NOKIA to the car. The NOKIA searched a while and then (proudly, I'd guess) said: “New accessory found: BMW”

@PerlDuck That's another reason why I want more texting from bash answers. To keep it more on-topic.

I'd hate for the mods to delete the question after 2K views in 2 days!!!

@PerlDuck Now that you mention: lifehacks.stackexchange.com if the mods migrate the Q&A over I wonder if I loose Ask Ubuntu rep points earned to date on the Q&A? They made me max out 200 rep cap 2 days ago and this could be the gift that keeps on giving for me.

@Fabby could you edit my answer sometime saying only one text per day by sender is allowed? Right now it says only one text per day to smartphone is allowed. I already edited the answer once today and don't want to be accused of bumping it to the home page too often :(

@WinEunuuchs2Unix When writing my comment about a modem I was actually thinking of monitoring software (Nagios, Check_MK, Zabbix, Icinga, …). They (can) send SMS via an attached GSM modem to alert the people in charge. No further internet service involved, just the SIM card's regular carrier as if you'd written the text on your phone.

I have just installed Lubuntu on VM VirtrualBox.
When I run an app from terminal, eg. firefox, it works but terminal pops up some warnings.
It's not about firefox, the same issue with other apps. But if I start the same app not from terminal and then open terminal and run the same app from t...

I recently installed U18.04.1 (fresh install) and also had the impression python2.7 is not installed by default in the first place. But after installing some other apps it was there (apparently as a requirements of those apps).

@WinEunuuchs2Unix Yes. I'm not sooo familiar with building "deb" packages but with "rpm" packages. There you write a so called "specfile" (specification) and if the package builders put a line "Requires: foo" in that file then it will require the package "foo" when being installed.

When the app is then installed via "zypper" (similar to "apt", but for the RPM world) the dependencies will be resolved and "foo" would be installed (after confirmation).

@Rinzwind I never used to fall asleep on the couch until my side with the recliner broke. So I started folding up laptop lid on coffee table and laying down on couch to watch movie on big screen and Ubuntu/Internet on second not quite as big screen. A recipe for falling asleep!
